Alright, despite the low attendance at these two tournaments there was some solid competition at each, including three ranked *or once ranked* players from Ohio (Blue Rogue, Beegs, and ArgentStew). I played extremely well at the second tournament, including knocking Blue Rogue's Wario into losers 2-0. I made it to winners finals and lost to ArgentStew 1-3.
So here's the hilarious but depressing summarized version of what happened in game 5 of losers finals, me vs. Blue Rogue.
Delfino (while airborne), both on last stock, his Wario 140%, my Peach around 100%; I pivot grab him through one of his dair attempts and grab release him in the middle of the stage. What happened as soon as I began to move for the game winning u-smash? I TRIPPED and he F-SMASHED me for the win, a giant "AWWWWWWWW!" came from the crowd watching, taking away what would have been a guaranteed 2nd place. **** this game, and **** Sakurai.
